Chapter 2881
Nicole nodded. "That's very much possible."
Damien had been refusing to spill the beans on what he had been up to for a few days now. If anything, he seemed to be stalling, buying himself more time along the way.
This had led them to wonder what he was actually hoping to accomplish by stalling. Was he expecting someone to come to his rescue?
With the very same school of thought crossing Nicole's mind, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where is he?" "I don't know, and Patricia didn't say anything either," Lulu carefully replied. "What are you worried about?" "I need you to caution Patricia and tell her to be on guard. It's possible that Damien is waiting for someone to rescue him," Nicole ordered.
Initially, Damien had made a few attempts at fleeing, only for Patricia to thwart all of them. Since then, he had remained silent, and such silence from him was a dead giveaway that he planned his exit.
Having realized it herself, Lulu frowned and nodded. "Alright, I will inform Patricia." "Good," Nicole replied, trusting that Patricia would handle it well.
"I'll call her now," Lulu said, before hurrying out of the office.
After exiting Nicole's office, Lulu took her phone out and gave Patricia a call right away.
"Hello?" Patricia's voice blared out in reply, and that was when Lulu relayed Nicole's message to her.
"Okay, got it," Patricia replied and hung up.
Lulu then pocketed her phone and returned to Nicole's office with a grim look on her face.
On the other end, Patricia's gaze was dark and intense as she held her phone firmly in her grip.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ellar asked in concern, having sensed the sudden change in her mood.
Patricia narrowed her eyes, and in a calm voice, she replied, "Nothing. I must return to Riddle Corporation."
Just when she was about to leave, she reminded Ellar, "Your arm is fine now, so you should go home after you're done with your work."
Not buying Patricia's assertion that everything was okay, Ellar asked, "Are you sure everything's fine?"
